  1. Another day, another Labour MP converted to an independent : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly5xdvnn16o Although, to be fair, if it's anything like the first tranche of MPs that were suspended, it appears only 6 months needs to be spent in the wilderness until an apology earns a seat on the back benches again.
  2. It's the only way to survive a nuclear blast
  3. Twas ever thus.
  4. You can just transfer it to the 'good' pot and have a slightly bigger pension. At some point (age 55?) You can take a lump sum from pension pot tax free (25%???) which can be used for whatever. I believe the rules have changed now so you don't have to use your pension pot to buy an annuity or any other type of pension and can take the whole lot out and blow it on hookers and coke if you want - but bear in mind you'll have to pay tax on anything over the tax free allowance...
  5. Equally there is a circular argument that each side claims their deity gave them explicit permission to occupy the land, which reaches back hundreds of years.
  6. I appreciate that both sides have killed innocent people. I also appreciate that Israel have killed a lot more than Hamas. I can also see that had Hamas not carried out the attack that they did, then the vast majority of the deaths wouldn't have happened.
  7. So why did you 'disagree' when Hypo stated there was no equivalence between the two. I think you've tied yourself up in knots, not for the first time.
  8. Like Hamas and Israel?
  9. They all have a lot of innocent blood on their hands, ergo, as you've stated, there is equivalence. Unless you've changed your mind already?
  10. Likewise Russia, China, North Korea, Rwanda and many many other countries. Are they all the same?
  11. Levelling up in action.
  12. Bollocks. That's a 97.5% chance of not hitting. Suppose I better take the house off the market then which is annoying as I was looking forward to pissing it up for the next 7 years.
  13. Another one bites the dust : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y7zperkelo Are Labour trying to set a record for biggest majority converted to Independents?
  14. I hope it continues - when we play them. It's our best chance of scoring an easy goal.
  15. Are we allowed to mention that the budget doesn't appear to have worked as intended yet? The BoE has cut interest rates and halved its forecast for growth (which was already pretty low), so the 'growth' that was planned by the Gov't to bring in all the extra revenue they needed to fill all the black holes doesn't appear to be happening. I assume the only way to fill them now is more taxes?
  16. Really? 'Legendary' status for winning the Milk / Rumbelows cup? Do the 'best of the rest' value the 'scraps' of PL football so highly that winning a cup in which the top teams field their 'youth' teams gives them legendary status? Or is the word 'legendary' used with gay abandon? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c7vdqy4l0gqo
  17. Credible source? I imagine all contracts will be subject to GDPR given they are PAYE. I assume the athletic are just guessing.
  18. It's clickbait for the hard of thinking. Maybe I'll coin the phrase 'thickbait'?
  19. No means no, Nick.
  20. For the Southport killer as well?
  21. I assume the difference is that a footballer from Japan can apply for an 'International sportsperson visa' which will give a three year stay, whereas an EU citizen has no right to live or work in the UK - unless they have family members and meet the criteria for the EUSS - except if their 'occupation' is on the 'in demand' list (which this one definitely won't be as there are plenty of UK citizens who could do the job) and their employer is registered for sponsorship.
